Fashion

I love clothes and fashion in general. Long has it been an aspiration of mine to take up making clothes as a hobby. But alas, I have neither the money to buy clothes or material, nor the time to make them, so I try and look as presentable as possible.

I suppose my fashion can be described as casual: jeans with button-ups and tees, and a splash of "gay."

 

I can't, I don't ... understand fashion. I can't differentiate between ridiculous and good. I just stick with jeans and a simple white or grey t-shirt so as not to draw attention to myself.

 

I mostly wear what's comfortable and don't care much at all for fashion, but picked the second option. I don't ever go out looking completely sloppy, so I guess clothes are a little bit important to me.

I think what happens with me is that I like clothing trends from hundreds of years ago. Surcoats? Yes please.

 

i put that im conciouss of fashion but make my own style. I dont actually pay any attention to my style, but i am into it, its just the styles i like wouldnt actually look good on me.
that and im freaking lazy.

 

I wouldn't say I'm particularly fashion conscious, but my appearance does matter quite a bit to me. If I feel I don't look halfway decent, I have a hard time leaving my house. I've never gone out in sweatpants or pajamas, and sort of cringe at the idea of it. I don't know why but it's difficult for me.

I usually wear button-down shirts, when I can find ones that are actually cut well. Being ftm and short only makes it trickier (I need this to be slim, but it has to make me into a box, and it can't be too loose or long in the sleeves). I tend to stick to plain or striped t-shirts, and I pay a lot of attention to the fit. I prefer v-necks. I do have a few graphic t's but I don't wear them as frequently. I find they're not as soft as my other shirts to begin with, and comfort is a huge factor in whether or not I'll wear something. I wear all my jeans in dark washes, particularly black, and slim, but not too tight. I also like layers, and would kill for some well-fitting hoodies and cardigan sweaters. I sort of avoid flashy clothes, and stick to blacks and greys and muted tones mostly.

 

I couldn't give a shit about fashion. I spend 90% of an average week dressed in my fluoro-green work uniform and black jeans, and the rest of the time, I'm dressed in a cheap black polo shirt with the same black jeans.

I'll admit that I do like my steel toe Dr Martens and Ray Bans though.

 

I enjoy fashion, so naturally I do put a fair amount of effort into the way I present myself. Though I'm not a fan of trends and make my decision in regards to clothing entirely off of personal preference.

Not to mention, trends tend to be a bit less applicable to you when you are someone that doesn't align very clearly with your specific gender.

 

I care very little about fashion and purchase all of my clothing second-hand, with the exception of underwear. Jeans, t-shirt, done. I own one jacket and one pair of shoes at a time.

I cannot fathom paying $50 for something that costs pennies to make. I think fashion is interesting as a social behavior and culture, but fashion itself means so little and I cannot help but regard those who obsess over it as being unintelligent and shallow.

 

I don't care about fashion but I like to look smart. I simply wear plain clothes like shirt (usually black), jeans and casual shoes.

 

My mate has collected vintage clothes from the 40s to the 90s. We wear whatever, mix and match. I'm not into brands, names, but looks. We set trends, maybe? But I don't really care. Reinvent fashion for yourself. Use trends, abuse them discard them, recycle them, I could care less what the fashion is, fashion is always what you make of it, not some mode of conforming. To that extent, I hate Abercrombie and Fitch, among the most heinous of places, trying to mold people into this white, privileged boredom. Burberry, I don't mind, it can be classic, and is well made. But Abercrombie? I would like to see them go under.

 

I dread the thought of putting on anything more complex than jeans and a t-shirt. I hear stories about people, mostly women, spending 3 or more hours to prepare their outfit for an event of some sort, and I just can't comprehend how anyone can do that. My head would explode.

 

I wouldn’t say I obsess over fashion. I don’t read Elle or Vogue magazine. I’m not hip with the latest trends.
However, I do try every morning to put together an ensemble, which I hope others would appreciate and get the idea of “He has fashion sense”.
I guess you could characterize my fashion as indie rock?
I wear ripped jeans a lot, but with Oxford shoes and denim jackets and flowery shirts.

 

Eh, mainly buy my clothing from Goodwill or second-hand stores. Not obsessed with fashion in the least, but when I'm a woman I make it a point to wear dark clothing (not gothic) because the apparel bespeaks "Don't mess with me."

The only thing I indulge in are scarves; my sister turned me on to them, so we went to new York and Company and bought some nice ones.

 

Thrift-stores are the key to fashion! I like to see how little I can spend, and pull something off. I dress kinda whimsically. Last week, I was so happy: I found this old Calvin and Hobbes T-Shirt (white, w/blue sleeves/collar) in the part of the building I live in by the freight elevator, where people leave free stuff for others to take/recycle as they move out. I'm not against 'trash-picking', especially when the students go home for summer at the art college. I figure just wash it really good, and it's fine.

 

Yeah, I love fashion, but it doesn't rule my life. I like thrift stores and Goodwill mostly. I just want to look like I put some thought into it but not like I'm trying too hard.

I practically live in plaid.

 

I really don't care about fashion. I mean I dress nice enough and comfortable enough for whatever I'm going to, but other then that I really don't care about what's hot and what's not.

 

I don't care about fashion trends. I usually just buy what I think looks nice. When I get dressed, I just pick stuff that looks like it will match. When I was younger it took me a while to pick stuff, but now it only takes a minute or two. I voted for option 2.

My style is mostly tennis shoes, jeans, and t-shirts or long sleeves. The shirts are usually a solid color or colorful patterns. I don't really wear anything with letters on it.

 

I wasn't sure whether to say 2 or 4, but, because I'm picky about what clothes I buy in the first place, I decided on 4. There is a specific look I go for, and I rarely deviate from it.

However, I don't put much thought into my day-to-day choices of what to wear. I always wear jeans and the same pair of shoes, so all that's left is to pick a top, most of which are just different-color-and-pattern variations of each other (e.g. a mostly blue women's plaid shirt versus a mostly gray men's plaid shirt, plus some neutral-colored tank top). So there isn't much to think about.
